Agree with the above posters that XC and Track happen much later. Also, the process is much easier than, say, soccer. With track, your event times are all that matter - you’re either fast enough for a program or your not. With XC, it’s placements (since the courses can vary greatly). This explains why things happen later. A freshman or sophomore is rarely the fastest distance or mid-distance runner at an invitational event.

The program recruiting standards can usually be found on the college’s athletic dept. website. Runcruit.com is ok, also, but we found their times to be slower than what coaches actually wanted.
